Gross events (but not some quantum events) within our universe must have a cause, it does not follow that the universe itself requires a cause, any more than a wall being made of indestructible bricks means that the wall is indestructible.
The Iliad is just as historical. Troy really existed, the Trojan War really happened, etc. Do you think that if follows from some parts being historically true that the supernatural parts are true as well? If it does not follow, then it also does not follow for the Bible.
Facts are facts; period!! Its a fact that simon the cyrenian carried jesus cross, archaeologist found simons bone box, we got the mans bones. Fact. Its a fact that the high preist Caiaphas slapped jesus on the face, we got that jokers bones as well. jesus was baptized on a hill called Golgotha, we got that hill, he was baptized in the river Jordan, its still there! Jesus had two female friends, mary and Martha, archaeologist have found their house. All that is in the bible. And hundreds of finds like that.
What happened to your claim you weren't Christian or Religious?

Quote:Most modern scholars believe that John the Baptist performed a baptism on Jesus, and view it as a historical event to which a high degree of certainty can be assigned.[2][3][4][5] James Dunn states that the historicity of the baptism and crucifixion of Jesus "command almost universal assent".[7] Dunn states that these two facts "rank so high on the 'almost impossible to doubt or deny' scale of historical facts" that they are often the starting points for the study of the historical Jesus.[7] John Dominic Crossan states that it is historically certain that Jesus was baptised by John in the Jordan.[6]

If these are all facts, why can't you support them with anything?
